Here in India, e.g we have not a single MP from the state of Maharashtra (0/48). Think who will represent the miniroties in Pakistan if common electorate is there. In future we visualise the non existing AngloIndians having a MP in parliament but none from Muslim community. Lets remember that there are Muslim majority constituencies in India but the are called sensitive and reserved for SC/ST communities denying the majority of that constituency representation. In fact we must admit that the casteism of Hinduism is celebrate in India the way White America wants people to appreciate their loosening the stranglehold on non-whites. The call for appreaciation for wrongs submerges the allegations of racism and casteism. Why not to hold the systems of Hinduism and Christianity for the historical wrongs??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-63727049585871111952009-07-06T18:38:58.703-07:002009-07-06T18:38:58.703-07:00Minorities in Pakistan live in fear - report <br /><br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30729204/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-84909781825893219792009-05-14T13:59:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:59:00.000-07:00I believe that minorities in pakistan can vote only for minority candidates. They are forbidden to contest as a general candidate and cannot get votes other than from minorities. This is from the http://www.faqs.org/minorities/South-Asia/Hindus-of-Pakistan.html<br />Hindus are barred from holding the highest office, have seperate electorates. Their fate is pitiable and their current population is brought down to less than 2% from the partiton population of almost 15%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-30811839376318718422009-04-24T11:58:00.000-07:002009-04-24T11:58:00.000-07:00Why are you be so interested in Hindus in Pakistan? Why should we care whether there are hindu or muslims in Pakistan. Nation is bigger than religion. Anyone living in Pakistan is Pakistani and living in India is India.

We have a band GT who’s lead singer is Glenn Silverious John his father was a famous ghazal singer S.B. John, than there is singer A.Nayar and the famous old girl band Benjamin sisters.And a lot of Hindus/Christians even work at various channels behind the camera like producer, control room operator etc.<BR/><BR/>There are minorities in Pakistan government Hindus as well as Christians and they are even serving in the Pakistani army including sikhs.<BR/><BR/>Justice Bhagwan Das was Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, if not enough, Justice Alvin Robert (A.R.) Cornelius served on the Supreme Court of Pakistan for 17 years, nearly 8 years of those as Chief Justice. There are still Hindu temple in the heart of the cities Like Karachi, acting and live since the day of independence.ISMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-49086873920042304782008-07-21T11:35:00.000-07:002008-07-21T11:35:00.000-07:00dude <BR/>their representative in Pakistan parliament is krishna bheel and one gentleman from meghwal community.<BR/>mostly they are held as bonded labor by muslim landlords what more at the time of partiiton this district was merged with neighbouring mirpur khas by muslim league governemt of sindh to prevent its going to india.arohanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18356612496659615400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-1146599697852553122006-05-02T12:54:00.000-07:002006-05-02T12:54:00.000-07:00Just to tell you buddy that I am back.Fahd Mirzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14962864190016841043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-1146582779107565792006-05-02T08:12:00.000-07:002006-05-02T08:12:00.000-07:00http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_31-7-2002_pg3_1<BR/>http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_4-3-2005_pg7_7<BR/>Hindus are leaving Pakistan even todayDigantahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04469151692994395377noreply@blogger.com
